Objective: Occupational medicine specialists in the Busan, Ulsan and Kyung-Nam areas established an area-based occupational disease surveillance system and used this system to collected case information for the purpose of preventing occupational diseases Methods: l l hospital participated in this system. The authors selected five main diseases, which were hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WRMSD), occupational asthma, occupational skin disease and occupational and occupational lung cancer and established their case definitions. All cases were reported on the web, and real time analysis was conducted. Results: Between April 2001 and April 2003, 192 cases of HAVS, 118 cases of WRMSD, 33 cases of occupational asthma, 17 cases of occupational skin disease and 17 cases of occupational lung cancer (for a total of 377 cases of these five main diseases) were reported. most of the HAVS cases came from shipbuilding, and 172 of them (92.7%) were associated with grinding. Of the four main types of WRMSD, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) was the most prevalent with 46 cases and shipbuilding was also the main industry involved (83.9%). The ergonomic risk factors involved mainly associated with the hand. In 19 (57.6%) and 4 (12.1%) cases of occupational asthma, the agents involved. The causative agents of occupational lung cancer included Cr, welding fume, PAH, Ni, etc. 10(58.8%) of the cases were diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma and 5(29.4%) as adenoma. Conclusion: This result showed that an area-based occupational disease surveillance system might provide an effective method of evaluating the prevalence of such diseases, however the Busan, Ulsan and Kyung-Nam provinces are too large to be treated as individual areas. Therefore, the authors suggest that each province should establish its own surveillance system.

No effective antiviral therapy is proven yet, but clinical use of ribavirin (RBV) has been tried. We investigated the antiviral effect of RBV against SFTSV in vitro. Methods: To test for cytotoxicity of RBV, Vero cells were treated with different concentrations of RBV (3.90 to 500 μg/mL, two-fold dilution) and analyzed by cell viability MTS assay 48h post-infection. To determine antiviral activity of RBV against SFTSV, Vero cells were infected with SFTSV strain Gangwon/Korea/2012 at 100 TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose) per well in a 96-well plate, and RBV was added at the concentrations showing no or minimal cytotoxicity. Viral RNAs were extracted from the culture supernatants and quantifi ed using one-step real-time reverse transcription- PCR to amplify the partial large segment of SFTSV. Statistical analysis was done by one-way ANOVA with Tukey`s post hoc test. Results: Cytotoxicity due to RBV was not observed at RBV concentration =31.3 μg/ mL. Viral RNAs at 24h post-RBV treatment were reduced with increasing RBV concentrations (1-32 μg/mL), compared with those of mock-treated cells (P <0.01, Figure). Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of RBV was 3.69 μg/mL at 24h post-RBV treatment. Conclusions: Our study shows that RBV has antiviral effect against SFTSV in a dose-dependent manner. Further studies are required to evaluate the effi cacy of RBV in SFTS.

Investigation of meridian line and acupoints as anatomical entities should be very important, as acupuncture and meridian massage for medical purpose in the hospital or for skin care in beauty shop are each based on the traditional meridian theory. We isolated tubular structures under the skin of rabbits where the traditional meridian lines are located. The characteristics of these tubular structures isolated from the abdominal wall matches those of Bonghan tubes and Bonghan tubules found by Bong Han Kim. The Bonghan theory established by Bong Han Kim suggests that meridian lines consist of Bonghan tubes and Bonghan tubules. We could observe the presence of large cells inside the Bonghan tubule and the presence of small granules referred to as Sanal in Bonghan theory inside the striae consisting of the Bonghan tubules. Present research suggests that there exist a third unique tubular structure where Sanals flow other than Bonghan tube and Bonghan tubules.

This study investigated mean airborne CO concention of 15 workplaces, suspected of CO exposure and conducted self-reported questionnaire completion and indirect COHb concentration measure using Micro II Smokerlyzer to healthy 702 adult subjects from 1999 May to 1999 September in order to find a relation of CO exposure and occupational factors, socioeconomic factors, and health related behaviors and confirm the related conditions in the screening test for CO exposure. The results of this study were summarized as follows : 1. In the CO exposed and non exposed group, COHb concentrations of the smokers were 2.55±0.96% and 2.21±0.97% and that got a statistically significant difference, There were not statistically significant differences in the age and total smoking index. Passed times after the last smoking, Working time/day, and working duration were statistically significant difference (p〈0.05). 2. In the CO exposed and non exposed group, COHb concentrations of non-smoking group were 0.94±0.35% and 0.68±0.47% and that got a statistically significant difference. There were not statistically significant differences in the age and working duration but Working time/day was a statistically significant difference(p〈0.05). 3. In the CO exposed group, r-square of multiple regression of the smokers was 38.5 % and passed time after the last smoking, working time/day, and job category were statistically significant differences (p〈0.05). And r-square in the CO non-exposed group was 38.3 % and age, passed time after the last smoking, and total smoking index were statistically significant difference. 4. In the CO exposed group, r-square of multiple repression of the non-smokers was 66.3% and job category and airborne CO concentration were statistically significant differences(p〈0.05). But r-square of non-smokers in the CO non-exposed group was 1.0% and there was not a statistically significant difference(p〈0.05). 5. In the smokers of CO exposed and non exposed groups, relation of COHb concentration and passed time after the last smoking was expressed as exponential function, Y = 2.9182e-0.0083x and r-square of this function was 37.4%. Therefore it was more than 150 minutes that passed time after the last smoking was when COHb concentrations were measured as less than 1%. In conclusion, variable, that was statistically significant to COHb concentraion in the both CO exposed and non-exposed smokers, was a passed time after the last smoking. We suggest that you have to restrict the smoking of smokers at least 150 minutes in the exposed and non exposed group before COHb concentration measure in order to exclude smoking effects

During the past two years(1999-2000), the antimicrobial susceptibility tests for the major pathogenic bacteria isolated from the respiratory or digestive organs of the diseased pigs in Chungchong area have been carried out. Total of 88 strains in seven species were isolated from the respiratory lesions of the diseased pigs during the periods, and the major isolates were in order of P. multocida(27.3%), Staphylococcus spp.(20.4%), Streptococcus spp.(15.9%), E. coli(12.5%), B. bronchiseptica(11.4%), Haemophilus spp.(10.2%) and A. pleuroneumoniae(2.3%). From the fecal specimens of the pigs with diarrhoea, total of 146 strains in five species were isolated in order of E. coli(59.6%), Salmonella spp.(17.8%), Campylobacter spp.(14.4%), Streptococcus spp.(5.5%) and Clostridium spp.(2.7%). The isolates were tested the susceptibility for 30 kinds of antibiotics. Among the isolates from the swine repiratory lesions, P. multocida revealed over 71% of susceptibility to ciprofloxacin(CIP), enrofloxacin(EF), tylosine(TL) and norfloxacin(NOR). B. bronchiseptica showed over 70% susceptibility to CIP, EF, linco-spectin(LS) and NOR, and Haemophilus spp. over 78% of susceptibility to AN, CIP, EF and NOR. The isolates of Streptococcus spp. revealed over 80% susceptibility to CIP and EF, and Staphylococcus spp. over 78% of high susceptibility to amikacin(AN), cephalosporin(CP) and CIP. .In general, most of isolates were highly resistant to ampicillin(AM), bacitracin(B), ceftiofer(CT), chlorampenicol(C), colistin(CL), erythromycin(E), nalidixic acid(NA), novobiocin(NB), oxacillin(OX), penicillin G(P), polymyxin B(PB) and vancomycin(VA). Of the isolates from the pigs with diarrhoea, over 76% of E. coli isolates showed the high susceptibility to AN, LS and N. Salmonella spp. revealed over 71% of susceptibility to CT, CIP, EF, LS and NOR, and Campylobacter spp., over 76% of susceptibility to CT ,CIP, EF, GM, LS and TL. Higher susceptibility were observed CIP, LS, NOR and TL with Streptococcus spp. and AN, CIP, EF and LS with Clostridium spp.. Most of the isolates showed the higher resistance to B, CL, L, N, NB, OX, P, PB Te and VA. The MIC range of the major isolates for AN, CIP, NOR, LS FM and GM showing the relatively high sensitivity were measured. Compared with other drugs, CIP and LS showed the lower MIC of ≤0.06∼128 ㎍/㎖ and ≤0.06∼≥512 ㎍/㎖, respectively.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Chronic exposure to cadmium (Cd) causes remarkable damage to the kidneys, a target organ of accumulated Cd after oral administration. The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of curcumin against Cd-induced nephrotoxicity. Sprague–Dawley male rats were divided into the following four treatment groups: control, curcumin (50 mg/kg, oral), CdCl<SUB>2</SUB>, (25 mg/kg, oral), and pre-treatment with curcumin (50 mg/kg) 1 h prior to the administration of CdCl<SUB>2</SUB> (25 mg/kg, oral) for 7 days. At 24 h after the final treatment, the animals were killed, and the biomarkers associated with nephrotoxicity were measured. Our data indicated that blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (sCr) levels were significantly reduced by curcumin pre-treatment in CdCl<SUB>2</SUB>-treated animals. Histopathological studies showed hydropic swelling and hypertrophy of the proximal tubular cells in the renal cortex after Cd treatment. Pretreatment with curcumin ameliorated the histological alterations induced by Cd. The urinary excretion of kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1), osteopontin (OPN), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and netrin-1 significantly reduced by curcumin treatment compared to that in the CdCl<SUB>2</SUB>-treated group. The administration of curcumin provided a significant protective effect against Cd-induced nephrotoxicity.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Curcumin protects against cadmium-induced renal injury. </LI> <LI> Curcumin reduces urinary excretion of AKI biomarkers. </LI> <LI> Curcumin protects against cadmium-induced apoptosis in the kidney. </LI> </UL> </P>

Melamine-induced nephrotoxicity is closely associated with crystal formation in the kidney caused by combined exposure to melamine (Mel) and cyanuric acid (CA). However, there are few dosage-finding studies for toxicological evaluation of chronic co-exposure to Mel and CA. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible mechanism by which a Mel and CA mixture lead to renal toxicity in rats. Mel and CA were co-administered to rats via oral gavage for 50 days. Nephrotoxicity was determined by measuring blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (sCr) levels. Relative kidney weights were significantly increased in rats after co-exposure to Mel+CA (63/6.3 or 630/6.3 mg/kg) mixtures. BUN and sCr levels were significantly increased after Mel and CA co-exposure. Taken together, significant increase in KIM-1, NGAL, and calbindin levels were observed in the urine of rats exposed to Mel+CA (63/6.3 or 630/6.3 mg/kg) compared with the corresponding control group. Histological analysis revealed epithelial degeneration and necrotic cell death in the proximal tubules of the kidney after co-exposure to Mel+CA (63/6.3 or 630/6.3 mg/kg). Our data suggest that Mel-mediated renal toxicity may be influenced by CA concentrations in Mel-contaminated milk or foods.

Porcine cytomegalovirus (PCMV) causes piglet deaths, runting, inclusion body rhinitis, respiratory and reproductive disorders in swine herd, resulting in the significant economic losses in the swine industry. Recently, in the field of pig-to-human xenotransplantation, PCMV has been indicated as a potential xenogeneic pathogen with the risk for infection transmitted from the xenograft donor to the recipient. In this study, PCMV DNA polymerase gene was detected in the sera and nasal swabs from 30 heads of the weaned piglets affected with various wasting diseases and 10 heads of normal healthy piglets using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the diagnostic efficacy of PCR was evaluated. The prevalence of the PCR-positive by specimens from the diseased piglets were 83.3% in sera and 33.3% in nasal swabs. In the normal healthy group, the PCR-positive rates of sera and nasal swabs were 40% and 30%, respectively. Ten piglets (25.0%) out of 40 showed the simultaneously positive results in both of sera and nasal swabs. According to this result, it was found that the serum specimen was the most appropriate sample for detection of PCMV by PCR. The nucleotide sequence homology of DNA polymerase gene of PCMV KS1 as compared with the reference strain of PCMV (GenBank accesson no.AF027217) was 99.0%.
